Why we meditate … on a personal and planetary level
Meditation develops “inner sight,” which is an exploration into the world of the spirit, of self-knowledge, of the energies of divine light and love, of life and death, of consciousness … One does not begin to look inward at the world of spirit with one’s flesh eyes open and looking at the material world …

“Aim for a still, quiet mind. Cease thinking in words. Think instead in images and pictures. Let reality wash over you and learn to ‘just let go.’ Let thoughts and emotions rise and leave naturally, do not cling to them nor attempt to block them.
“Meditation alters one’s very relation to reality. ‘People grasping their own shadows of discrimination become attached to this thing and to that thing and failing to abandon dualism they go on forever and thus never attain tranquility. By tranquility is meant Oneness.'” — Buddha Shakyamuni
“Buddhists … when they sit in meditation … enter a state of tranquility. This is because energy from the universe will start to gather around a person’s body when he calms down and settles his mind. ” — Master Li Hongzhi in Falun Gong (English Version), Chapter I

“The necessary and welcome economic growth within our Sangha, in the form of business operations and commercial and domestic investments, has brought along as a byproduct an increasing frequency of disagreements and disputes. There is a need for our society to provide resources for the sane, non-agressive resolution of such conflicts in keeping with the principles of Dharma and the Great Eastern Sun. Accordingly I have decided to institute and appoint the Upaya Council. The function of the Upaya Council shall be to mediate and/or arbitrate commercial and domestic disputes among members of the Vajradhatu community, as individuals, groups, or businesses. It shall be the initial task of the Upaya Council to propose to me and my Privy Council a set of guidelines under which it shall operate. There shall be no internal hierarchy within the Upaya Council and each member shall have an equal voice; the findings of the Council shall be arrived at by unanimous consent.” — Vajracarya the Venerable Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, Spring, 1979

“We are living in extraordinary times. There are frequency shifts occurring on both personal and planetary levels. We can learn to consciously raise our own vibratory patterns to align with these energies for health and transformation.”
Spiritual Frequencies: Healing Frequencies: The Kybalion
As I learned from Jonathan Goldman’s Healing Sounds — The Power of Harmonics, that there are 7 Principles, originated by Hermes Trismegistus — some of which may readily be seen to apply to the field of sound and harmonics — which have come to be known as The Hermetic Principles …
The Kybalion – Online
by Three Initiates
“The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding”
“An online ebook edition of The Kybalion {at http://www.kybalion.org/TheKybalion.pdf*} this book is a study of basic hermetic teachings that outline an ageless wisdom. In ancient times (and even today) these teachings were not understood by the lay person, but were readily understood by students, after the axioms and principles had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates and Masters to their Neophytes. The Kybalion was originally written in the early 1900’s and is now in the public domain. A priceless gem!”
*Indeed a priceless gem … of over 100 pages comprised of the words of The Kybalion [sometimes, elsewhere, spelled as Kyballion] with appropriate explanation designed for the thoughtful reader with a view — or a starting point — toward actually applying this age-old universal teachings.
Here is how the Content is layed out:

Healing Sounds: Transformational Musical Journeys: Breathe Out the Old … Breathe in the New …
The Ison Method: Transformational Musical Journeys to Awaken Your Energy Within and Experience Your Essential Self
In The Musical Body Harmonizer, David Ison says: “Breathe into the [chakra] blockage” … In The Musical Body Vitalizer, he speaks of the [outer] Universal Life Force and Qi [within] in terms of the Hermetic [from Hermes Trismegistus, the Greek “Scribe of the Gods”] Principle of Correspondence: ‘As Above, So Below’: He says: “Listen … Breathe … Relax … and Receive … “the boundless, life-giving energy that surrounds us all” descending from your crown chakra … to the base of your spine.
I can’t promise you that your brain waves will be theta if you play David Ison’s Musical Body CDs and follow the Ison Method of guided breathing, listening and meditation, putting your attention on each chakra, in turn … but you sure won’t be stuck in beta …
It’s an application of what sound healer Jonathan Goldman calls INTENT + VISUALIZATION = MANIFESTATION … without vocal toning the chakras …
Breathe out the old … Breathe in the new: See where it leads you …
Healing Vibrations: “Don’t bother me, man! … I’m in ‘alpha'” …
Thus we may have spoken in the days before the awareness of the deep meditation brain waves of theta or delta 🙂

“There is no such a thing as a single cause of any health problem. We can only talk about cofactors, causative agents and life situations that like pieces of puzzle interact with each other, and together promote a chain of events ending with a named set of symptoms and health problems …
“All disorders and health problems that happen to humans are multidimensional, because we, humans are multidimensional. Modern medical science is mainly interested in the physical and tangible world. It blames too many problems on bad genes, bad viruses, bad bacteria …”
Cultivating Compassion: Being Free of the Need to Respond in Like Kind Is Truly Necessary for Spiritual and Physical Health and Healing …
Masaro Emoto researched and wrote a visionary book entitled “Messages From Water,” and you may get some idea of the scope of his discoveries from web sites such as http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm
The above is a picture of “Thank you” from Masaru Emoto’s work of recoding the crystalline structure of water in the presence of various sounds … music … words: dissonant and hateful as compared to loving and harmonic such as “Thank you.”
… Ever found resentment to be healthy? … How many people have you known who look like they’re “sucking on a lemon” who are actually healthy? …
What would stop a person from forgiving, but an attachment to the past? …
Falun Gong practitioners practice cultivating to higher levels of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance and the orientation is: “Why should I be moved [by trials and tribulations] to anger or fear [a human attachment], when I know that Master Li, Falun Gong’s teacher, has said that I should be thankful when I am suddenly faced with a tribulation by [the actions of] others … as this gives me a chance to strengthen my character as well as work off some karma and [self-] cultivate …
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/real-healing/201102/forgiveness-is-miraculous-1
“Our highest task in living is to live from our soul’s deeper urges. The deepest desire of our spirits, our souls is to learn to love ourselves. This is a lifelong journey and one of the major steps to fulfilling our soul’s desire is learning to practice forgiveness of ourselves and others. When we put love in place of hatred or anger towards self and others, we free ourselves to live from our authentic selves and fulfill our own unique destinies. Forgiveness is a miracle that brings vitality and healing of body, mind and spirit.”
Medical intutitive Caroline Myss has observed healing to be blocked by the inability to forgive …
ThetaHealing’s Vianna Stibal has learned from her practice that:
If a person is cleared of what she calls programs of “the three R’s,” Rejection, Resentment, Regret, they will “open enough space in their mind to be able to move objects,” as “your mind spends an incredible amount of time on these three issues and the neurons of the brain are occupied with resentment and regret.” — ThetaHealing (paperback), page 92
How could the neurons of the brain be affected by emotions? … Check out the work of Candace Pert [Molecules of Emotion] or Bruce Lipton [The Biology Of Belief].
Come up to present time!
L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Dianetics and Scientology, wrote an article entitled What is Greatness? In it, he said that the greatest secret of the universe may be for man to be able to love his fellows in spite of all … The orientatation of a Scientologist, and many other spiritual practitioners, to the question of forgiveness might be to understand that a “ridge” [like two water hoses of equal force aimed against each other, and where they “meet” in the middle] is part an old facsimile [mental image picture] from an incident long past, and to “ridge on” [feel in strong opposition to] not forgiving someone for something they did to you … is to not be in present time and not healthy.
Sound healer Jonathan Goldman and Shamael, the Angel of Sound, Gregg Braden who has written Walking Between The Worlds — The Science of Compassion, Louise Hay, Darren Weissman who has written Awakening To The Secret Code Of Your Mind — Your Mind’s Journey To Inner Peace, as well as BodyTalk practitioners have come to believe similarly … based on their actual experience and life’s work …
You may draw your own conclusions … I suggest it would be most healthy to emulate the behavior of a brother who, some years ago, when I impatiently bumped into him while running for a train in NYC — instead of getting angry at me as he “had a right to” — just looked at me and said, quietly, with a smile in his voice: “I hope you don’t drive like that” …

Healing Sounds: Resonating the Chakras to Stimulate the Body’s Ability to Balance and Heal: Vibrations: Resonance, Entrainment and Emotion …
As Jonathan Goldman has observed: “We are all unique vibratory beings.” In a previous post — Healing Sounds Found Me — I touched upon his concept that: “There are frequency shifts occurring on both personal and planetary levels. We can learn to use our own sounds to consciously affect our own vibratory patterns and align with these energies for health and transformation.” I have included links to several of his articles on this blog.
On the Qi Without Borders web site http://www.qiwithoutborders.org/holographic_sound.html, the work of Jonathan Goldman and John Beaulieu is cited:
“According to Jonathan Goldman’s Healing Sounds: The Power of Harmonics book:
“Resonance is the basis of every sound therapy that I have examined. As you may recall, resonance is the basic vibratory rate of an object. Everything in the universe is in a state of vibration. This includes the human body. Every organ, bone, tissue and other part of the body has a healthy resonant frequency. When that frequency alters, that part of the body vibrates out of harmony and this is what is termed dis-ease. If it were possible to determine the correct resonant frequency for a healthy organ and then project it into that part which is dis-eased, the organ should return to its normal frequency and a healing should occur.”
“When an organ or another part of the body is in a state of health, it will be creating a natural resonant frequency that is harmonious with the rest of the body. However, when dis-ease sets in, a different sound pattern is established in that part of the body, which is not vibrating in harmony. Therefore, it is possible, through use of externally created sound that is projected into the dis-eased area, to reintroduce the correct harmonic pattern … and effect a curative reaction. Through the principle of resonance, sound can be used to change disharmonious frequencies of the body back to their normal, healthful vibrations.
“The different rhythms of the body may also be changed through sound. This is known as ‘entrainment’ and involves the ability of the more powerful rhythmic vibrations of one object to change the less powerful rhythmic vibrations of another object and cause them to synchronize their rhythms with the first object. Through sound it is possible to change the rhythms of our brain waves, as well as our heartbeat and respiration.
“It has been verified recently that sound can be used to affect and change our brain waves. These principles of using resonance and entrainment are the fundamental concepts behind the use of sound to heal and transform. They are found in every practice that uses sound, regardless of tradition, belief system or culture. … Examination of these practices, from the Hindu use of mantras to shamanic use of chanting and drumming, reveals a commonality in these principles of resonance and entrainment as the basis of sonic transformation and healing.
“According to John Beaulieu’s Music and Sound in the Healing Arts: An Energy Approach book:
“Resonance occurs when the vibrations of one object reach out and set off vibrations in another object. The word ‘resonance’ comes from the Latin verb resonare, meaning ‘to return to sound.’ If the two objects have closely similar frequencies and one is vibrated, the other object will also sound, e.g. if you have two tuning forks of the same pitch and you strike one, the other will also make sound. This is called ‘sympathetic resonance.’”
“The intervals of the tuning forks create a sympathetic resonance with the quality of Sacred Sound deep within us. The archetype begins to align our thoughts and physical body around its vibration, e.g. when the forks are tapped, it is quite common to observe the head and body move and adjust to the proportions of the sound. If we look at our bodies as actual manifestations of the pattern of the Sacred Sound, we can begin to understand how the sound of the tuning forks can be used for healing.”

Says Ricardo Serrano:
“There has to be a reason or an explanation to why sound has this effect to my emotional body which was answered by Barbara Marciniak’s Bringers of Dawn – Teachings From the Pleiadians book, “Emotion, because it brings feeling and connects you to feeling, allows you to recognize different states of consciousness. The logical mind does not allow you to recognize states of consciousness because it holds onto its own identity. It is locked into the boundary of ego and does not want to recognize other areas. Feeling, however, always acknowledges other areas because feeling discerns the difference. You can read the signs and the definitions by the energy that you call feeling. It is, in actuality, a vibration. Sound brings about states of emotional feeling. When you create harmonics of sound, it reminds your body of something. It reminds your body of Light, of deep Cosmic love and other worlds. Your body comes into joy and sometimes overwhelmingly into sadness. It seeks and accesses a frequency that it has been longing for, of which the sound has reminded it. As you allow your sound to play your body, you discover a frequency that you have sought. This frequency is connected to the evolution of the helixes within your body. Sound is a vehicle or conduit to connect you to the higher chakras outside your body because you do not have a way of accessing them logically. You must access all frequencies and chakra centers by feelings, and sound will connect you with feeling, which will allow you to understand the information.”
“When you do sound healing, the sound resonates from you and moves energy to remove unwanted blocks or beliefs, like a thread between you and the other person. Sound stirs energy at deep levels, releasing all emotions and increasing the flow of intention. Cells have vibrational memories and just have to be reminded to release and balance themselves,” says Renee Brody in The Healing Sounds of CrystalBowls.
I would like to call your attention, also, to the work of Penney Peirce, who notes that “you are a vibrational being moving through a sea of vibrations,” and (y)our “personal vibration is evolving to a higher frequency along with the planet and everyone else.” I am in the midst of reading her book, Frequency — The Power of Personal Vibration, and I want to share, from her chapter 4 — Freeing Yourself From Negative Vibrations:
You are able to choose, says Penney, “to feel expansive, loving, and connected to the high vibrations of your soul — to literally be your soul.” And if “you choose to feel connected to life, you’ll need very little of the old type of willpower. You’ll discover that concepts like flow and synchronicity {Has anyone read any of the work of Caroline Myss?…} take the place of willpower.”
I’m citing this, here, with the note that it will of course have more (depth of) meaning to you, when you have read her first three chapters. Plus chapter 5 — Feeling Your Home Frequency — goes more deeply into the process she’s speaking of. Edgar Cayce spoke, through his Readings, of vibrations as “spirit in motion,” and I see the work of Jonathan Goldman and Penney Peirce in that spiritual tradition …
Innate Wisdom … “Healing Sounds” Found Me … Resonating the Chakras to Stimulate the Body’s Ability to Balance and Heal …
Innate Wisdom
“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.” — Buddha
It is only when we have the courage
To face things exactly as they are,
Without any self-deception or illusion,
That a light will develop out of events,
By which the path to success
May be recognized. — I Ching — From Steve Wells — http://www.eftdownunder.com
Spiritual Pathwork
May each of us who are evolving and discovering their own truths and paths have the help of the “Personality Self” in channeling the “Higher Self” as Edgar Cayce, in a number of his readings spoke of …
“No personality has the right to ask spiritual pledges from other personalities. The only pledge that any human being should give is, first of all, to his own inner divinity, the soul, and later to the master under whose guidance he can more efficiently serve his fellow man.” — Alice Bailey, The Unfinished Autobiography, Cassette 4, side 2
Healing Sounds Found Me
It has been said that “when the student is ready, the teacher appears.” One day, in 2008, I was on the platform of a train station, and as I was about to sit down on a bench, I noticed a book on the platform. Thinking that someone had dropped it, I looked around … Not seeing anyone, I looked in a wider sphere … No, there was no one there for me to return the book to … and there was no contact information written in the front or back of the book … Finally I understood that the book, Healing Sounds – The Power of Harmonics, was there for me … As I have said, I am making choices on my spiritual journey, and one of the best was to get onto Jonathan’s Healing Sounds Correspondence Course … but first there was the synchronicity of that book materializing …
In his book, Healing Sounds – The Power of Harmonics, Jonathan Goldman thanks others for their work in the field of sound and music for health and transformation, and he also says on the Acknowledgments page that “Healing Sounds has been a special work” for him. Says Jonathan:
“We are living in extraordinary times. There are frequency shifts occurring on both personal and planetary levels. We can learn to use our own sounds to consciously affect our own vibratory patterns and align with these energies for health and transformation.”
Resonating the Chakras to Stimulate the Body’s Ability to Balance and Heal
I have included links to some of Jonathan’s articles, which appear on his web site http://www.healingsounds.com/, in the Links to this blog: I do not mean to suggest that (the reading of) these articles will give one full conceptual understanding of what sound healing is based upon, how it works to resonate the chakras to stimulate the body’s ability to balance and heal — or how to practice it — but they may be a starting point, particularly since some are extracted from the book, Healing Sounds …
In the Glossary of her book, Frequency, Penney Peirce defines etheric or subtle energy as: “The vibratory frequency that is one level higher than matter; a malleable form of energy that acts as a kind of ‘modeling clay’ or energetic blueprint for the physical dimension,” and she defines chakra as: “A vortex-like concentration of spinning subtle energy located primarily along the spine; one of seven main centers of spiritual force in the etheric body.”
I am not attempting to teach anyone how to use their voice for toning or sound healing. I am suggesting some teachers to look to for those who are interested in this realm … of the possibility of resonating the chakras to stimulate the body’s ability to balance and heal
Could it be that one of the greatest joys there is in life is to make self-created sounds? …
I recall that it has been said, by L. Ron Hubbard, that “A being causes his own feelings,” and “The greatest joy there is in life is creating.” Could it be that one of the greatest joy there is in life is to make self-created sounds? …
Sounding Using One’s Own Breath and Voice … Let’s Make Sounds Together
Sound and music have been used since ancient times for healing and transformation, and our innate ability to make sounds with our own voices, is universal: Sounding [the making of sounds with ones own voice] is something that can be done by people from all corners of the planet … and by people together, in groups …This is a very “inclusivist” practice – which is to say it welcomes people of other healing practices … whereas “exclusivists” would say that only their application has the truth [“you can’t get it anywhere else!!”]; you must follow their rules or else. Sound healers do not consider other healing techniques to be “mutually exclusive” with what they do, and they sometimes work with other energy healing techniques as well … After all, sound is not the only vibration … There are spectrums of frequencies … I have heard Jonathan, in that same inclusive and expansive spirit, welcome other sound healers, such as John Beaulieu, to his Healing Sounds Radio Show broadcasts, which air at 12 noon Eastern Time on the 2nd Wednesday of each month on http://www.healthylife.net

I flashed on the words of a song that went: “Music is the healing force of the world,” without remembering what song/whose song it was … On a deeper level … you [the soul] are your own healing force or that the Creator of All That Is [God] is the Source of all healing:
Elsie Sechrist, who knew Edgar Cayce and had readings from him, wrote a book, Meditation – Gateway to Light based on the Cayce readings, in which she says:
***BEGIN FAIR USE QUOTE***
“All healing is of God, and comes from within. Whether it be a prayer, a poultice, medication or surgery; all are for the purpose of creating a harmonious balance within the body so that the forces of God within may heal. For who planted the herbs or plants that give healing? [I would say: Who grows … or Who created … rather than “Who planted …”] Who gave wisdom to the mind of man? Who gave skill to the surgeon’s hand? Who created the mind of man in His image so that healing would be possible?”
